One of the most underwritten parts of history is the colonisation of Asia, and its legacy. Lust, Caution, the 1979 novella by Eileen Chang, about a group of Chinese students who plot to assassinate a wartime collaborator of the invading Japanese during the second world war, shows us this moment in history, and the terrible grey areas that emerge in these times. Understanding this history is important – it’s the only way we learn how not to repeat it. But the book is also a masterclass in writing the duality of human beings. To me, changing the world starts with knowing the world. Lust, Caution taught me a little bit more about the world, and about people.Walsh’s attorneys said in a court filing that he wasn’t motivated by avarice, but desperation. Walsh was under enormous pressure to rescue his businesses and to support his large family, they wrote. He has 11 children. The contemporary holiday perpetuates the myths of the Wampanoag and Pilgrim relations," Peters writes in the book. "It further buries the truths of kidnappings, pestilence and subjugation and ignores the scant details of the tense encounter, while it conjures up Hallmark images of happy Natives and Pilgrims feasting on a cornucopia of corn, pies, and meats, including a fully dressed roast turkey."

Why the day's namesake is disrespectful to some How to help do better The classics were sometimes profoundly critical of their world and ours. I admire the clarity with which Euripides discards the glitter of legend to denounce the widespread brutality. During wartime, he dared to take the side of the women instead of the men, the enemy instead of his compatriots, and the losers instead of the winners. Over time, Hecuba has spoken anew in the name of the victims, before we could begin to forget. This year's run supports Rising Hearts, ReNew Earth Running, Mashpee Wampanoag and ⁠ Wabanaki Public Health & Wellness.

With the upcoming holiday, known by many as Thanksgiving but recognized by Native American communities as the National Day of Mourning, Peters and other Indigenous activists and scholars are advocating for the recognition of the Wampanoag's true history. They say that must be grounded in the fact that they existed far before and long after the pilgrims' first harvest feast.

We need a revolution. It begins with falling in love with the Earth again,” writes the Vietnamese peace activist and Buddhist master Thích Nhát Hanh in Love Letter to the Earth, a slim, powerful book that should be a new Bible. In a series of beautifully written letters toMother Earth, suggested practices for the appreciation of all living things including oneself, and other “healing steps”, Hanh has given us a practical, spiritual, poetic and life-saving guide to how to fall in love again. He explains “there is no difference between healing ourselves and healing the planet” and why “caring for the environment is not an obligation, but a matter of personal and collective happiness and survival”. After deescalating the situation, the pilgrims and the Wampanoag feasted together, though historical texts don't indicate what they might have eaten besides deer hunted by the Wampanoag, as Peters writes in an introduction to "Of Plimoth Plantation." Top Justice Department officials are undeterred by the enormity of the task. They’ve created special “ strike forces ” to hunt down COVID-19 aid thieves and vowed not to give up the chase.

As the teacher explained how "friendly Indians" came to help settlers arriving on the Mayflower, Peters was excited to hear about her own history in the classroom. She's a citizen of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe who grew up to become an independent scholar of the history of the Wampanoag, who have inhabited present-day Massachusetts and Eastern Rhode Island for more than 12,000 years, according to the tribe. When he returned in 1619, his home village of Patuxet had been ravaged by a great plague. In fact, the settlers who came to that same land had to move decaying bodies to make the village that later became Plymouth . Peters said that the years leading up to the arrival of the Mayflower and the first harvest are just as important as what followed. The pilgrims were aided by a couple of Indigenous men who remarkably knew how to speak English, including a man named Squanto.Prue Leith is a judge on The Great British Bake Off. Her one-woman show, Nothing in Moderation, is on tour now. That erasure exists in part to gloss over the ugly parts of American history, said Joseph P. Gone, an enrolled member of the Aaniiih-Gros Ventre Tribal Nation of Montana and a professor at Harvard who researches the intersections of coloniality and mental health in American Indian communities.
